About memory cards

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD
Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using
large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent image
data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the
card, the data will be protected. However, when the card is protect-
ed, images cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made to record or
delete an image with the camera, the card-locked message will
appear and the LED lamps near the viewfinder will turn red and
blink quickly. For memory card care and store see page 82.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted card in
the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in another
camera may also have to be formatted before being used. A card
can be formatted in the setup 2 section of the playback menu (p.
54). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is perma-
nently erased.
